Ramdev's Remark "Women Look Good When..." Provokes Debate

New Delhi:Ramdev, a yoga instructor, made some vulgar remarks about women that have sparked a debate that could go political. At a gathering in Thane, Maharashtra, Ramdev asserted that women can look nice in a saree, a salwar kameez, or "even when they wear nothing."

Swati Maliwal, the head of the Delhi Women's Commission, shared the video and urged Ramdev to "apologise to the country."

Ramdev made the remarks on Friday at a gathering. Amruta Fadnavis, the spouse of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, joined him on the dais. Shrikant Shinde, son of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, was also present.

"Everyone appears to be extremely cheerful, I note. I wish you good fortune as well. Those at the front were allowed to dress in sarees. Those in the back were unable to participate. They presumably brought sarees from home and packed them, but they did not have time to change "In the video, Ramdev can be seen speaking while grinning.

"You all look stunning in saris. Like Amruta ji, you also look nice in salwar suits. And just like me, looking amazing without anything on is also possible.

Women in the audience may be observed exchanging concerned glances with one another.

Ramdev added, smiling, "You wear clothes for social standards. "None are required for children to wear. Up to the age of eight or ten, we used to wander around naked. Children don't use five layers of clothing till recently 

According to Ms. Maliwal's tweet, "Swami Ramdev's comments on women in front of the wife of the Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister are offensive and deplorable. Baba Ramdev should apologise to the nation for making a comment that has wounded all women."

Mahua Moitra of the Trinamool Congress also criticised Ramdev's remark.

"I now understand why Patanjali Baba fled Ramlila Maidan dressed as a woman. He claims to enjoy wearing sarees, salwars, and... His lopsided worldviews are a clear sign that he has a strabismus in his head "She tweeted in reference to the event in 2012, when a yoga instructor was apprehended while attempting to flee from the police while wearing a white salwar kameez.

Why did Mrs. Fadnavis not raise a fuss about Ramdev's remarks? was the query posed by the Shiv Sena side headed by Uddhav Thackeray.

"When the Karnataka Chief Minister threatens to move Maharashtra villages to Karnataka, when the Governor insults Shivaji, and now when BJP campaigner Ramdev abuses women, the government says nothing. Has the government given Delhi a loan on its tongue? "Sanjay Raut, a senior party leader, said reporters.

The BJP hasn't commented on the remarks. Neither Ramdev nor Patanjali, his organisation, have provided any clarity.

Chetan Bhagat Calls Photos of Reality TV Star "Distracting Boys," Her Reaction

According to author Chetan Bhagat, his remarks towards reality TV star Uorfi Javed were misinterpreted.

The author of "2 States" claimed in a tweet that he only advised "men" to concentrate on their careers and avoid wasting time on Instagram. "I advised the lads not to waste time on Instagram and to concentrate on their careers and health. It seems that's not acceptable! So they took my quote out of context, added things I didn't say to the headline, and created a click-bait article with ageism as well "said Mr. Bhagat. At a literary event, Mr. Bhagat mentioned Ms. Javed while asserting that young people these days spend a lot of time on Instagram. "Youth, especially boys, have found their phones to be a fantastic source of diversion, spending hours simply scrolling through Instagram Reels. Everyone is fam...

Row Sparked by a 1.5-Million-Pound Sculpture in UK PM Rishi Sunak's Garden

London : After the UK government spent GBP 1.3 million of taxpayer money to buy it and then send it on to the British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's 10 Downing Street garden, the bronze sculpture by a renowned English artist has come under fire as "extravagant." The abstract 1980 sculpture "Working Model for Seated Woman" by Henry Moore is thought to have been purchased by the taxpayer-funded Government Art Collection last month after reportedly being sold at a Christie's auction, according to The Sun newspaper. At a time when the nation is grappling with high inflation, growing family expenses, and cost-cutting efforts throughout public finances, it has prompted a cost-of-living dispute. An analyst told the newspaper, "It is a wonderful piece and an essential example of Moore's collection of seated women sculptures. The expert added, "However, it may be viewed as an expensive use of public monies, particularly given the economic circumstances....
